The consists of aesthetically pleasing, pre-finished connectors and innovative concealed joist ties designed for exposed wood applications. These connectors provide structural performance and, at the same time, add a unique appearance feature to a project. Refer to Simpson Strong-Tie C-APG catalog. ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES Eliminate time consuming prep work and costly field painting. Available finishes include textured flat black powder-coat, gray paint and hot-dip galvanized coating. AVAILABILITY Select products are in stock and readily available. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for product availability and lead times for non-stocked items. PRE-ENGINEERED AND TESTED Load-rated products are verified to perform to design loads, unlike custom designed and fabricated connectors. QUALITY ASSURANCE No-Equal quality-controlled manufacturing ensures product consistency and high quality. Products shown in this section come with textured flat black powder-coat unless otherwise noted. Most are also available with a galvanized coating or gray primer.
